except winnie the pooh isn't already a slur, and it kinda does matter the history of the usage of a term if you're trying to determine the intent and usage of it.
literally nobody used the winnie the pooh insult against him because of his race, it was always because he literally looks like the character, and then threw a fit and banned all mention or image of a worldwide-known and beloved fictional character. because he's an unstable tyrant.
